In California, Vertimass is part of a consortium that has been awarded approximately $1.35 million to pilot the conversion of green hydrogen and carbon dioxide into sustainable aviation fuel. The funds were granted by the Energy Technology Development and Demonstration Programme (EUDP) in Denmark. The research project is a collaboration among a group of organizations, […]
In Norway, multidisciplinary and multinational team will work together over the next 42 months to develop innovative and sustainable processes to produce biofuels from organic waste with negative emissions CARBIOW (Carbon Negative Biofuels from Organic Waste) is a Research and Innovation Action funded by the European Union under the Horizon Europe Programme that addresses green […]
In Belgium, researchers from Biorizon co-initiator VITO and chemical company Kaneka Belgium joined forces to conduct research to create a lignin-based polymer that outperformed its fossil-based counterpart in terms of thermal stability and UV-blocking properties. Kaneka liquid polymers are widely recognized as the premium choice of base resins for producing high-quality sealants, adhesives, and coatings. […]
In Germany, biodegradable microplastic particles in soils can lead to an increased rise in CO₂ emissions to the Earth’s atmosphere. This is shown by an interdisciplinary study published in “Applied Soil Ecology” by the Collaborative Research Centre 1357 “Microplastics” at the University of Bayreuth. In this study, experts in soil ecology and ecological microbiology compare […]
In Singapore, scientists from NTU Singapore have developed a technique to convert waste paper, from single-use packaging and bags, and cardboard boxes, into a crucial component of lithium-ion batteries. Through a process called carbonisation which converts paper into pure carbon, the NTU researchers turned the paper’s fibres into electrodes, which can be made into rechargeable […]
In Massachusetts, an interdisciplinary team of researchers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) has developed a potential recipe for a net-zero fuel for planes that will pull carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the air. Through modeling and computation analysis, the researchers developed a formula for a fuel that consists of magnesium, a mineral that is found […]
In California, scientists at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have demonstrated a new technique, modeled after a metabolic process found in some bacteria, to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into liquid acetate, a key ingredient in producing “liquid sunlight” or solar fuels through artificial photosynthesis. The new approach, reported in Nature Catalysis, could help advance […]
In Sweden, plastics used in home furnishings and constructions materials could be replaced with a new kind of wood-based degradable plastic with semi-structural strength. Unlike thermoplastic, the material can be broken down without harm to the environment, researchers at KTH have reported. One of the goals of renewable wood composite development is to make materials […]
In Austria, scientists have dubbed the new innovative substance “MycelioTronics” and researchers Johannes Kepler University Linz believe it’s a “global first” that could result in more sustainable electronics. At any rate, the fungal skin is an “ingenious barrier”. As described in the journal “Science Advances”, the approach was “more or less an accidental discovery”. Tnstitute […]
